I promised you a Mexican inspired dessert so I came to deliver. This cake is called Dulce De Leche cake. It's easy and really fun to make. It's sweet and covered in molten caramel. I found my sister and son licking the bowls clean after I finished making each individual part. It's not easy to find a cake recipe that is this easy, this beautiful and this delicious. I was definitely shocked when the final product came out as pretty as I had hoped. It looked almost as good as it tasted. I'm not the best cake frost-er (It might be because I get so anxious wanting to try and share my concoction) but it still turned out looking fabulous and a little on the fancier side for me. I enjoy that it's two tiers so you get a little ribbon of gooey caramel throughout and the lightness of the white whipped frosting adds just the right amount of sweet to this amazing cake! Enjoy guys!
Ingredients:
1 White Cake Mix
3/4 cup softened salted butter
5 large eggs
1/2 cup water
1 jar white cream frosting (I used whipped)
1 can sweetened condensed milk (about 14 oz.)
1 can Dulce De Leche (you can find this in the ethnic cooking section.) (about 14 oz)
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray two round cake pans with a nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl combine your white cake mix, softened butter, eggs and water. Mix on low speed and slowly increase until combined. Pour into nonstick round pans and bake for 35 minutes. Watch carefully so that they don't burn!
3. In a sauce pan over low heat combine sweetened condensed milk and dulce de leche until thick, well-combined, and slightly bubbling.
4. Take one of the round cakes and pour the dulce/cream combo over the top. It should be really thick and spread nicely. Layer the other round cake on top and pour more dulce/cream over the top.
5. Put the cake in the freezer until the dulce/cream has cooled and is hard.
6. Frost the cake with the white frosting and drizzle some leftover dulce/cream over the top. Voila!
Simple as that you've got a delectable dessert that is finger-licking good. A coworker of mine told me he could easily sit down and finish the whole cake but I don't suggest chowing down on something this rich... but it could happen! Grab a cup of milk and enjoy!
Thanks again guys!
